Welcome to HR Wallingford's events websiteHere you'll find information about our programme of seminars, workshops, courses and conferences - simply click on an event title for more details.
HR Wallingford provides world-leading analysis, advice and support in engineering and environmental hydraulics and in the management of water and the water environment. Our open programme of events covers a wide range of topical subjects in this area. Regular fixtures include
Armourstone Users Group Meeting River Hydrology and Hydraulics CourseFlood risk analysis and Management Course. Events covering flood management, urban drainage, engineering materials, coastal engineering and structures also make regular appearances on our programme. With all these events, our overriding aim is to present current information on best practice techniques and regulations as well as emerging technologies. Our seminars and workshops are designed to bring together the leading national and international authorities to present up-to-date information to delegates drawn from the water, environment and civil engineering industries. Our longer courses aim to develop the participants' ability to adopt current best practice techniques, and to apply new research, under the guidance of experienced engineers and researchers by including practical exercises and discussion groups. In addition to our open programme of events we also provide structured courses, either based on our standard course materials or specially prepared, to organisations throughout the world. HR Wallingford also has an impressive track record in institutional strengthening through technology collaboration and transfer, which includes major projects in Venezuela, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, India, Bangladesh, Philippines and Indonesia.

The 19th Armourstone users group meeting will be held in our new conference facilities at HR Wallingford and will include a repeat of last year's successful opportunity to young professionals to submit papers and make presentations. The meeting will also feature presentations on various topics related to the emerging European requirements for the control of dangerous substances and the use of recycled materials, freeze and thaw resistance, measuring armour layer reshaping, and topics related to changes to British and European standards and the extent of their adoption by practitioners.

 | River Hydrology and Hydraulics - 21- 22 February 2012
The River Hydrology and Hydraulics course provides an excellent introduction for graduates, consultants, local authority staff, conservation and fisheries officers, development control and flood defence officers who require an understanding of river hydrology and hydraulics to help to improve their understanding of the management of river systems or the impact of developments in a river catchment.

 | Flood Risk Analysis & Management - 23 -24 February 2012
The Introduction To Flood Risk Analysis & Management course is suitable for engineers, consultants, local government staff and flood risk managers looking to gain an understanding of flood hazard and risk and their relevance to river management and development planning.

 | Exposed jetties, piers and dolphins course - 13 March 2012NEW COURSE FOR 2012
This one day course is primarily focussed on the prediction of wave forces on the upper parts of piers, elevated jetties, and similar types of suspended decks over water. Any wave loads on elevated beams and decks can be particularly destructive as most such structures were originally designed to be elevated above wave crests. With future sea levels projected to rise by around 1m, many existing structures may encounter wave loads in future for which they were not designed.

 | Wave overtopping for coastal and shoreline defences (EurOtop) course - 17 April 2012
The course will introduce the EurOtop manual and will present established and new techniques
to predict wave overtopping at seawalls, flood embankments, breakwaters and other shoreline
structures. The main presentations will describe each of the main methods available for predicting overtopping, including desk calculations, use of the Neural network tool, PC Overtopping and EurOtop’s online Calculation Tool. Example calculations and case
studies will be used to illustrate key methods. Literative or explicit approaches to setting a crest
level will be illustrated.
